TransAlbany network is being reviewed with some significant improvements to services expected. Information can be found on the TransRegional webpage.

Route 801 will be withdrawn and replaced by two new, more direct routes (806 and 808) operating Monday to Saturday with later services and generally hourly weekday services.

Route 802 will be withdrawn and replaced by new route 807, also operating Monday to Saturday with later services and generally hourly weekday services.

Timetable changes to the other, longer routes (803, 804, 805). These changes will mean the inner suburbs of Albany get a significant uplift in frequency, comparable to the frequencies provided in the inner suburbs of Geraldton and Kalgoorlie and services that run later on Saturdays than those two cities (Geraldton only runs until 3pm on Saturdays, Kalgoorlie until 12pm, Albany will be until 5pm).

Following an extensive service review and in response to community feedback, the Public Transport Authority (PTA) is proposing major changes to the town’s bus routes to better service the City of Albany.

Community consultation will start in February on the proposed improvements to the TransAlbany public transport system.

The proposal includes the introduction of two new bus routes for shorter travel times and route changes to allow greater servicing and more direct connections (including a new extension to St Ives Retirement Village).

Service frequency will be increased to hourly on weekdays and extended until 5pm.

Community consultation will be conducted over five weeks, starting February 11, 2019.

Representatives from the PTA will be at the following locations to provide more information to the local community:

Proposed changes to route 34 in the Bentley area. Route 177 was recently extended to Cannington Station on most trips and likewise with 72 on Sundays (most Mon-Sat services already went to Cannington). Hopefully Sunday trips on route 100 will be extended soon to compensate for the 34's rerouting.

We are inviting the public to comment on the introduction of new Route 96 which is proposed to run between Leederville Station and UWA south via Thomas St and QEII Medical Centre.

This new route will provide a direct connection between the Joondalup Line and West Perth, QEII Medical Centre (including Sir Charles Gardiner and Perth Children’s Hospitals) and the University of Western Australia.

Mr OC Benz wrote:Here's an interesting proposal from out of nowhere...

I think the proposed Route 96 is a response to the (failed) trial of extending Route 97 to Leederville Station a while back. The 96 may work better due to its more direct route (straight down Thomas Street instead of the extended 97 winding its way up to Subiaco and then going along Cambridge Street). It might provide a more attractive alternative route for people travelling from the Joondalup line to UWA and QEII, and it could even take some of the load off the very busy 950.

For me, the question is "How will the 96 stay up in the peak hour traffic jams from the two lane bottleneck that is Thomas St between Hay St and Kings Park Road?" Sure, the timetables could just list peak hour journeys as taking longer, but essentially that's just making the delays a permanent part of life.

This is no different to practically any other bus route in Perth that has longer travel time in the peaks to account for extra traffic volumes? Is Thomas St really that bad or out of the ordinary compared to other major arterial roads?

Representatives from Transperth will be available to discuss the proposed changes at the following locations:

Waterhall Shopping Centre Outside IGA Supermarket

i had an weird idea how about extend 304 and merge with 298 so it run between perth city - midland via 298 route and 304 route. so after terminate at high wycome they can right at newburn route, right macao rd then continued to 298 however the 298 part between high wycombe and maida will get cut. or if they think is too long it can terminate 298 at belmont forum because it duplicate 288 and 38 and 298 from belmont to perth can replace by 288 and 38.

the reason why i choose this, so there are connection between south guildford, high wycombe to kewdale and belmont area (altough only benefit for workers)

I assume that some sort of Route 304 extension is likely as part of the Forrestfield Airport Link bus network.

Route 441An additional school days only Route 441 trip will run from Duncraig SHS to Whitfords Station.Route 441 will depart Stop 18821 (Duncraig Senior High School Stand 1) at 3.10pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 2.48pm on Wednesday.

Route 444

Will undergo minor time changes.

Route 444 will depart Stop 28013 (Duncraig Senior High School Stand 3) at 3.07pm and 3.10pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 2.45pm and 2.48pm on Wednesday.

For the routes 36, 40, 295, 296 and 299 featuring the timed stop in different street for different direction (shown with an additional arrow and red text indicating for the servicing bound), most of the timed stops are located nearby the same street for both directions.

Just found out the Bus Timetable 79 had been incorrectly uploaded as Bus Timetable 62 so far, and fixed as of Wednesday 15 May.

If you normally travel from Carousel to Cannington Station on Cecil Av, you can catch routes 202, 203, 206, 208, 229, 294, 507 and 508 from Stop 27814 (Grose Ave before Carousel Rd) or Stop 13628 (Carousel Rd before Cecil Av) which may provide a better option during this disruption.

Travelling from Cannington Station to Carousel Shopping Centre?

If you normally travel from Cannington Station to Carousel, you can catch routes 202, 203, 229 and 294 from Cannington Station and jump off on Carousel Rd or Grose Av which may provide a better option during this disruption.

Alternately you can continue to catch routes 206, 208, 507 and 508 from Cannington Station to Stop 10162 (Albany Hwy after Cecil Av).

Video of the Cecil Avenue westbound deviation through Wharf Street filmed by me. IMO, this made it easier for CC College kids to get to/from the school without the need to go through Coker Park via Cecil Avenue to get there which is wet and muddy sometimes.

The one who catches the Perth Stadium bus like an illegal immigrant by only to gunzel for buses & trains and/or to go anywhere else.

I wonder if it is because of the proposed-Airport Link and Thornlie Line extension.

Probably, the way it is currently doesn't have a set of number pairs (ie. 907/908 for the Armadale/Thornlie lines) for the Midland line and the Forrestfield link. The 908 works well as it is for the Thornlie line extension (between the 907 and Mandurah 909) so I don't see why they'd want to change that

Currently working on my bus photography site where I'm aiming to photograph every Transperth bus in Perth - have (almost) everything!

From Sunday 21 July 2019 there will be significant changes to bus and train services across the Transperth network.

In preparation for the future Forrestfield-Airport Link, which will connect with the Midland Line at Bayswater Station, we are making changes to the Midland and Fremantle lines. This means that a number of bus services that connect with trains will be adjusted to ensure that good connections are still provided.

In addition to these changes, we will be launching the new Route 96, which will provide a high frequency connection between Leederville Station, UWA, QEll Medical Centre and Perth Childrens Hospital.
